**Help Restore Our Church, Family Life Center, and Cemetery After Hurricane Debby** Our beloved church, family life center, and cemetery have been devastated by flooding from Hurricane Debby. We are located in the Low Country of South Carolina -- Ridgeville. The storm has left behind extensive damage, requiring urgent cleaning, debris removal, and rebuilding efforts. This sacred space has been a cornerstone of our community, offering spiritual guidance, support, and a place for fellowship. On this past Sunday, August 11, 2024, this congregation celebrated their 155th Anniversary in service to this community. As the pastor of this congregation, we hope to move forward with resilience in these most challenging times. We are asking for your help to restore these vital parts of our community. Your generous donations will go directly toward the cleanup, repairs, and rebuilding necessary to bring our church and its surrounding areas back to life. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference. Please see the news coverage from abcnews.com. Here is the link: https://abcnews.go.com/.../south-carolina-flooding-delays... Please join us in this effort to rebuild and restore hope for our congregation and future generations.
